Underground storage tanks are a great concern and
environmental liability for property owners, potential
buyers, and lending institutions. These concerns stem from
the fact that underground storage tanks have not only
environmental implications, but legal and economic impacts.
Often buried oil storage tanks were abandoned long ago and
even the current owner does not know of their existence.
Because environmental regulations consider the property
owner liable for these underground tanks, it is important to
discover underground tanks before you take ownership of a
property. Geophysical methods not only locate hidden tanks,
but delineate them so that they are not damaged during test
drilling causing an even bigger problem. |
